to lose their eyesight entirely.

ODD ANECDOTES.:
“Did you bear the cannon roar
last night?” asked an old artillery
man. “Ah! but it was music to
my ears, and brought back many
old and odd remembrances.
Couldn't stand the noiso, you say?
That was because you are young
and not posted on such things.
Stand flat-footed, with your mouth
open, and you will never notice it.
You see there were two guns going
last night and It was quite dark.
Joe Scott was helping man one,
and every time she would let loose
lie resorted to that old trick. He
forgot about the second gun in the
cxcilcraent and was just telling a
friend how to keep the noise from
bothering him, when the other gnn
was discharged with a roar that
broke the windows and made
Scott's hair stand on end. He
never finished the explanation and
stood with his mouth open the
remainder of the evening. (What
will you take? Beer? Two beers,
Put.)”
“I wifi never forget one engage-
ment we hud in the late war. The
Yanks were trying to blow up our
magazine, which we had under
twelve feet of dirt. Reports pub
lished afterward showed that over
4,000 shells were thrown in three
hours, and they had got down to
tho logs that covered our powder.
It was getting warm about that
time, but darkness came on and
protected us. My gun bad an arm
blown oil and not a man was killed.
Another gun by me with a ten
inch bore had a splinter five feet
long taken off it by an eleven inch
shell striking it square in the bore.
I don’t know what would have
happened had the shell been ten
inch.”
drass and drains.
“Did you ever hear of George
Parker?” inquired one of the talk
ers, as wc were discussing politics
one evening last week while waiting
for the news. “Never did? Well,
you should have known him. He
was one of the rniartcst boys I
ever knew, and wns a regular fire
eater at that. He was a railroad
man and for a long time was a
conductor on South Carolina roads.
He was continually getting into
trouble and being moved from one
railroad to another. At last, he
had gone the rounds of tho rail
roads in that Stale, nnd througa
some o' his friends got a place on
the Brunswick road, through the
wiregrass region, where they board
the trains in gangs and refuse to
pay fare. Ho tackled a parly of
three one day who refused to pay
fare, and nearly got killed. When
ho recovered he was discharged
and went back to bis old home in
Augusta. One day ho met Gen.
Wade Hampton and asked him for
njob. Hampton said, ‘George, 1
don’t know as I can do anything
tor you but givo you a letter to
President Hayes.’ George took
the letter, pawned his watch, went
to Washington and presented his
letter. Hayes said,‘Mr. Parker,
what do you want?’
George answered he would like
to he consul to . Hayes
said he had just promised that, hut
as this was the first request Irom
Gen. Hampton, he would give him
a place as consul to another east
ern port. George thanked him,
went out and managed to get back
to Augusta. The papers were for
warded him with orders to leave in
a certain time. He continued to
lay about Augusta whilo the city
discussed bis good fortune."
“One day I asked bis brother
why George didn’t leave for his
place, and then I found out that
George was dead broke and
couldn’t get away, as he was too
proud to ask a loau. I went to my
hanker an-t told him about it. He
immediately fixed up a loan and
the money was handed to George
without hurting his feelings, nc
left for his place, replaced the
money the first time he drew his
salary, eventually married a count
ess, and has his old position still.
How he managed to hold it all the
time I have never beard. I under-
s'and he will soon visit Augusla
with his family."
Local Politics
Oar local political caldron begins
to boll briskly and indications
point to a lively time in the ap
proaching city and county election.
The city election for Mayor and
three Aldermen takes place next
month and the election for county
officers comes oft in January.
The woods is lull of candidates
for the city offices, and the fight
for the office of Mayor promises to
be exceedingly warm. The local
politician has donned his war
paint and is out upon the highway
expatiating upon his own qualifi
cations and touching up the short
comings of his opponent.
There have been no nominations,
and the accepted motto ol the
hour is: “An open field and a free
fight; every man for himself, and
the devil take the hindmost." -
Our political county waters show
no signs as yet of being deeply
stirred, but they will become
muchly troubled ere the voting
day comes around.
